Statement
My photographic aesthetic is informed by a dialogue with abstract painting, but ultimately, it is the mystery of nature that deeply resonates with me. I am inspired by its harmonies, diversities, simplicity, and fragility. My work contemplates the mystery of life in its most mundane and intimate moments, seeking to preserve it in all its complexity.
